My blood is unclean...







My blood is unclean...

My blood is unclean... 05/23/2004 09:25 AM

I couldn't agree more with this piece on gay men being banned from being sperm donors. The same thing happened a few years ago with the blood transfusion service. They're desperate for donors and yet the rules say (in the UK) that any man who has ever had sex with another man should not donate. I've been tested regularly for pretty much everything and am clear, have a relatively rare blood type (A-) and there are chronic blood shortages that could result in deaths. What possible rationale could there be for stopping me from helping?

Regarding Blood And Oil


Regarding Blood And Oil 04/13/2005 02:32 PM
Whereas, in the past, national power was thought to reside in the possession of a mighty arsenal and the maintenance of extended alliance systems, it is now associated with economic dynamism and the cultivation of technological innovation. To exercise leadership in the current epoch, states are expected to possess a vigorous domestic economy and to outperform other states in the development and export of high-tech goods. While a potent military establishment is still considered essential to national security, it must be balanced by a strong and vibrant economy. 'National security depends on successful engagement in the global economy,' the Institute for National Security Studies observed in a recent Pentagon study.

Regarding Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Petroleum Dependency by Michael T. Klare, here is an excerpt from the book and here is his most recent article--Oil and the Coming War With Iran. Well, at least he has been consistent--consider The Geopolitics of War, Wars Without End, Oiling the Wheels of War, and Imperial Reach from his articles for The Nation alone. Here is an excerpt from his previous Resource Wars and here is Scraping the bottom of the barrel and Bush-Cheney Energy Strategy: Procuring the Rest of the World's Oil. Well, as to his position on current events, I don't think we need to draw a picture here.

Spring Again, with Blood


Spring Again, with Blood 03/06/2004 02:06 AM
We had rare Pacific-Northwest February sunshine today, and girded our loins for some serious pruning and cleaning. I took pictures and was editing them and thought “decent, but I had pictures of spring flowers (some of the same ones) this time last year.” Then I realized that was stupid; do I not look at this year’s flowers because I saw last year’s? And there are people who are living in places where winter is probably starting to wear ’em down again who might be cheered by a preview of what they’ll be seeing in a few weeks. So herewith the same old crocuses and daffodils, but this story has a pretty severe barb to it. [Update: Identified the mystery flower, worth checking out.]...

The Blood of Heroes


The Blood of Heroes 04/09/2004 04:08 PM
Valiant Comics are Back! After a brief surge in popularity and value at the start of 1991, Valiant comics soon died during the great comic crash of the mid nineties. Now it seems that valiant comics are worth their weight in gold with comics worth only a few dollars (or less) a few years ago, now bringing in 200 dollars. Is this surge in price a sign of a new comic book crash or are collectors finally finding value in Turock and Man-O-War?

My friend Rebecca Blood has a piece on blogs in The Guardian that tries to shift our enthusiasms about weblogs. I'm not entirely convinced by it. She starts by saying that "no one really understands weblogs." Fair enough. She then puts holes in those who have described weblogs in "outrageously overblown terms": Enthusiasm abounds. Bloggers enjoy describing themselves as pioneers, though their ideas of innovation are sometimes suspect. "We are writing ourselves into existence," some ecstatically proclaim, as if Pepys and Boswell and the historic legions of their fellow journal-writers had never existed. As the guy who said "We are...

Blood Substitute.


Blood Substitute. 05/27/2004 08:03 PM
Loyola University has received approval to investigate PolyHeme®'s use as a blood substitute for critically injured and bleeding trauma patients at accident scenes. Blood has a very short shelf life, requires refrigeration, and matching types takes too much time too carry blood in ambulances. The blood substitute has a long shelf life and is compatible with all blood types. It's designed to furnish oxygen which will "prevent organ damage in the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys," until a transfusion can be done at the hospital. - pretty damn cool. I hope it works.

Digital blood feud


Digital blood feud 05/03/2004 01:01 AM
Lessig surveys the battlefield in 'Free Culture' When future generations of search bots look back at this unsettled era in which we're transitioning from an analog to a digital society, they may be impressed most by the works of Lawrence Lessig. In his first book, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, dark forces were gathering, conspiring to use code as a form of privatized law to hem in the Internet and the potential of the digital revolution. Readers learned that the Net, far from impervious, could be tamed by rewiring its architecture. The premise seems obvious now, but only because Lessig's 1999 ground-breaker connected the dots for us and set the scene for the struggles to follow.

Save me from the blood mists...


Save me from the blood mists... 01/24/2004 05:02 PM

I swear, if someone doesn't put a bloody save-state function into a browser with tab-functionality in it soon I'm going to snap and murder everyone around me. Even Safari - probably the most stable browser I've ever used - still crashes every eight or nine days or so, taking with it about forty or fifty open tabs full of carefully filtered, "I really must talk about that at some point" potential weblog content. Now I know I should be impressed that I basically never have to restart my laptop (current uptime according to Terminal is 5 days and 22 hours since I last shut down) and goddamit I am but allowing me to build up a massive amount of stuff in my browser over such a long period of time and then not giving me simple ways of grabbing all the stuff I have open and putting it somewhere safe - well it's just nuts. So please, please Apple/God, will someone please do something about this!? Before the blood mists start?

In this AP photo shot near a Japanese fishing town, fishermen work on a boat full of just-killed dolphins, as a diver prepares to submerge into blood-filled water. Link. Update: There's debate in the blogosphere over whether or not this image may have been retouched (i.e., Photoshopped or digitally manipulated in some other fashion to make the water appear redder). See MeFi. AP distributed the photo, but cited Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (an organization protesting dolphin killing in Japan) as the image's source.
